People saying the Stranger Things finale was cheesy I’M SORRY YOU’RE LACTOSE INTOLERANT AND ALSO AN INSUFFERABLE MISERABLE HATER WHO WOULDN’T KNOW JOY AND HOPE AND WHIMSY IF IT KICKED THEM IN THE TEETH
The documentary is not enough TAKE ME BACK TO THE ERAS TOUR
Stranger Things season 3 they could never make me hate you
After seeing several people not get Hilary Duff tickets, I am feeling very smug about only having 786 people in front of me in the queue this morning. I prepared. I was ready. And I was rewarded.
Just got in manuscript 3 out of 4 for this month and my editing schedule is starting to feel like:

Alex Borbolla@alexborbolla.bsky.social · 2y agoI’m giving a speech at my friend’s wedding this weekend and have yet to practice it without crying. So. We’ll see how this goes!
I think enough time has passed where I can admit every time I see this cover I think the knees/legs are a butt
In honor of Life of a Showgirl Eve, here is my day-one review of TTPD, which I wholeheartedly stand by! 1/2
I am not on Letterboxd because I simply don’t want to, but here is my Letterboxd top 4 in case I’m ever on a red carpet and they ask: -(500) Days of Summer -Penelope -Back to the Future -Shrek (These choices will impress no one and I don’t care.)
OMZ* what a day of mixed-AF emotions: Zombie and Brain is an INSTANT NYTimes bestseller at NUMBER 5! Congrats to the whole Zombie team! @laancham.bsky.social @alexborbolla.bsky.social @thejordache.bsky.social @literaticat.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social
It’s been about a year since I did a cut paper craft, but my yearly rewatch of Gravity Falls inspired me to make a little booklet! #gravityfalls
“If you don’t use AI now you’ll fall behind!” I’m sorry, do you think typing a prompt into a box is hard?
Constantly torn between wanting cook a bunch of food for my loved ones and hating having people in my house.
My prediction for how The Summer I Turned Pretty will differ from the book: Belly & Conrad do not kiss before the wedding. Belly makes the active choice not to marry Jeremiah instead of~*the drama*~ breaking them up. She will not immediately end up w/ Conrad. 1/2

As the ppl in my life started having kids, I’ve made it a habit to always congratulate the parents on their child’s first birthday for surviving their first year of parenthood. It’s arguably a bigger accomplishment than whatever that baby has been up to.
So honored to have our book included on the ABA's Kids' Indie Next list for September/October! All the indie booksellers' love for this book has been AMAZING! @laancham.bsky.social @jemiscoe.bsky.social @thejordache.bsky.social @literaticat.bsky.social @alexborbolla.bsky.social
We don’t actually know what Hamilton’s zodiac sign is so @alexborbolla.bsky.social and I decided he’s an Aquarius (which matches Burr) (which would explain a lot about their dynamic)
Thought making my editing calendar for my Winter and Spring 27 books would make me feel better about my schedule for the rest of the year. It didn’t 🙃
Hot take: Living in the city isn’t as hard as people say it is. Some people just don’t like city life, and that’s totally fine—but they should admit that instead of blaming the city itself.
The rumors are true: KPop Demon Hunters is enormously fun and I will be listening to the soundtrack all day.
How am I doing? My fyp has reached levels of “sad Michael Scott edits set to ‘The Prophecy’ by Taylor Swift.”
